The Bardavon needs your ongoing support in order to fulfill our mission to bring fine performances to the Hudson Valley, and to restore and preserve our two historic theaters.

Even though our programming continues to draw strong audiences, ticket sales alone do not cover all of our expenses. Every year, we must raise $2 million in order to balance our $3.6 million operating budget for our namesake theater in Poughkeepsie, the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston, the Hudson Valley Philharmonic, and our important education programs.

And these numbers do not include the capital budget, which is dedicated to building improvements, structural repairs, and historic restoration.

The generous and ongoing gifts we receive from our donors ensure that we continue to meet our financial, artistic, and preservation goals. We invite you to learn more about the many different giving levels and ways to support the Bardavon:
